FE Report
The city's traffic movement was seriously disrupted midday Monday, as a procession of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) paraded major streets in celebration of its 62nd founding anniversary.
Nearly 12 thousands BCL activists started the procession from Shahbagh crossing at about 12:45pm and reached Awami League central office at Bangabandhu Avenue at around 2:45pm parading through Kakrail, Bijoynagar and Purana Paltan, causing nagging traffic congestions at different key points of the city streets.
A huge number of BCL delegates, both leaders and activists, from the city and outside participated in the rally.
The roads from Farmgate to Shahbagh and Mohakhali to Moghbazar were found clogged with thousands of vehicles causing intolerable sufferings to the passengers and emergency patients in particular for hours.
The sufferers suggested finding an alternative to celebrate such programmes without hampering the traffic movement.
